king of defenders

Chapter 760
Miami, American Airlines Arena.

With only a few tens of seconds left in the first quarter, the basketball was directly thrown out of bounds by Xiang Long's fan, so the Heat still had the ball. They served from the sideline and gave it to Lu Wei. I don't know if they were afraid of Xiang Long. Wei did not choose to break through this time, but directly shot a three-pointer, but failed to make a shot. Xiang Long was in a good position and received the rebound.

Smart stepped forward to get the ball, but Xiang Long didn't even look at him, and directly pushed forward with the ball. Smart's face changed and he snorted angrily.

Xiang Long doesn't care. Since he has made up his mind not to change himself and use his powerful strength to forcefully break the situation, he naturally doesn't care what Smart thinks. You can target me, so why can't I ignore you?

And it's not that Xiang Long can't push the ball by himself. His ball-handling skills are still good. Although he can't compare with a defender like Meng Yun, it is not a big problem to push the ball to the frontcourt. It was not passed to Smart, but to Rozier. Relatively speaking, he had a better impression of Rozier.

"This bastard dares to ignore me, you wait for me." Smart glared at Xiang Long.

Rozier didn't think too much about it. There wasn't much time in this quarter. He glanced at the timer and gestured to his teammates. Xiang Long came up to pick and roll. Rozier quickly threw off the defender and pretended to break through, and then passed the ball back. To Xianglong.

Xiang Long played so well in this quarter that the Heat were a little jealous of him. Seeing him take the ball and Salinger quickly stepped forward, everyone else also stared at Xiang Long.

Xiang Long looked at the situation on the field, his eyes lit up, and he made a gesture to break through, but actually passed the ball out after attracting the defense, and it was given to Amir Johnson. Amir Johnson took the ball and broke through. The players here are all focused on Xiang Long's accelerated breakthrough and a layup.

29:22, the Heat lead by 7 points.

With 30 seconds left in the first quarter, both sides had an attack, but they failed to score. Xiang Long also had no chance, and the Heat were already eyeing him.

When the first quarter ended, the score was 29:22, and the Heat led by 7 points.

Everyone looked at Xiang Long. The Celtics scored 22 points, and Xiang Long alone scored 10 points. He also had rebounds and blocked shots. He played very well, even if it was the Celtics Being behind can't hide Xiang Long's excellence at all. He has a [-]% hit rate.

"I didn't expect this rookie to be so strong."

"Is it strange? I'm not surprised. Don't forget, he was the third pick in the first round. He has also performed amazingly in the European arena. He definitely has strength, but he lacks a chance."

"Yes, I am looking forward to it now. The first quarter is like this, and there are three quarters left. What kind of performance will he have?"

Many people's eyes are shining, they are very interested in Xiang Long, and they are very looking forward to it.

In fact, Meng Yun's performance in the first quarter was also very good, with a lot of points and high efficiency, but he was already well-known, and it was normal for him to perform well, but now he was taken away by Xiang Long.

Meng Yun didn't care, this was only the first quarter.

Soon, the second quarter begins.

Both sides put in a rotation lineup, and Thomas Jr. also returned to the court with a depressed expression on his face. He is the main force of the team, no, he is the trump card of the team. He played for more than four minutes in the first quarter and was completely overwhelmed. Meng Yun was suppressed, and he didn't come up all the time, feeling as if he was afraid of Meng Yun.

Am I afraid of him?
Of course not afraid, I am also a person who averages 20+ per game.

Thomas Jr. turned his head and glanced unhappily at Meng Yun on the sidelines. Meng Yun sensed Thomas Jr.'s eyes and couldn't help laughing: "Heh, are you provoking me? Very good, let's talk about it later. "

If another player with an average of 20+ per game is replaced, Meng Yun dares to say that he will be able to beat the opponent. Those who can average 20+ per game are not weak. They have already reached the level of top players in the NBA, or even top players.

But little Thomas. That's another matter.

It's not that I look down on Thomas Jr., but that Meng Yun restrains him. Thomas Jr. is too short, but he has a speed advantage and considerable confrontation ability. But when he meets Meng Yun, his speed advantage is gone, and his confrontation ability is not good enough. After all, Meng Yun is 205 cm tall and weighs much more than him. It is not easy for him to score on Meng Yun's head, but it is not difficult for Meng Yun to score on his head. Even if you just jump directly, you can only do it in front of you stare.

On the court, you come and go, Lu Wei vs. Biao Thomas.

Lu Wei's defense is not very good. Thomas Jr. still has some skills on the offensive end, scoring repeatedly. Although Lu Wei also scored, it still made Coach Spoelstra not satisfied. He glanced at the time. After playing for more than three minutes, he looked at Meng Yun, saw Meng Yun nodded, and waved his hand: "Substitution, Meng Yun, replace Johnson."

Did not replace Lu Wei, Lu Wei's defense is not good, but the offensive end is very good, let him move to the 2nd position, let Meng Yun defend Thomas Jr.

As soon as Meng Yun came up, Little Thomas became depressed.

Thomas Jr. also knows that he and Meng Yun are at a disadvantage. On the offensive end, he basically does not play alone. He catches his teammates' pick-and-rolls and throws off Meng Yun, looking for misalignment. He is still confident in playing other players.

On the defensive end, he doesn't defend Meng Yun, but Lu Wei.

But he knew about misplaced hits, didn't Meng Yun know?
Time and time again, Meng Yun always caught the pick-and-roll and misplaced it, forming a situation where he and Thomas Jr. were facing each other. Anyway, he spotted Thomas Jr. to play, and singled him when he caught him. Thomas Jr. was also angry and defended desperately, but Meng Yun didn't give him a chance to fight at all, and every time he pulled up on the spot or made a sudden stop to shoot a jumper.

Little Thomas couldn't touch the ball, and if he was not careful, he would pay a foul. He was so depressed that he was about to explode, and stared at Meng Yun with red eyes, this bastard bullied me!
Just to bully you.

Meng Yun grinned, revealing a bright smile.

Little Thomas couldn't take it anymore and wanted to explode on the spot. Finally, with a groan, he suddenly threw himself out and took out the ball. As a result, Meng Yun was already prepared. He dribbled the ball behind his back and broke through. Throwing the ball on the hoop, Monroe, who was just replaced, jumped up and dunked alley-oops. He was so happy, it's better for the Heat. How could there be so many alley-oops in the past? Meng Yun attracted Defensive, much easier and more enjoyable to play.

On the sidelines, Coach Brad Stevens gave a wry smile. Meng Yun was too good, especially against Thomas Jr., and was too targeted. It is not an exaggeration to say that Thomas Jr. was blown up.

He quickly called a timeout.

"Thomas, you come down and take a rest, Rozier comes on. Besides, Xiang Long, you go too." Coach Brad Stevens looked at Xiang Long and said, "Didn't you say that you and Meng Yun are instant friends as well?" Opponent? I understand a bit. You have already seen how good he is. Play hard. Meng Yun's progress is too fast. Don't be pulled too far by him, otherwise you may not even be qualified to be his opponent. gone."

Xiang Long's face changed slightly, and he nodded heavily.
